How much amount do I need to show in my blocked account for studying in Germany?

You need to show €11,904 in your blocked account (Sperrkonto) to study in Germany. This covers living expenses for one year, with €992/month available for your use.

If you plan to apply for the Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte) for job searching, the required amount is higher: €13,092/year (€1,091/month).

Opening a blocked account is mandatory for non-EU students and should be started 4 - 6 weeks before your visa appointment. These amounts are set by German authorities and are subject to change.
